Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar

MSRP £334.80

The buzz

The first 'authentically styled' Jaguar in the Vintage Modified range. In contrast to the older VM Jaguar HH, the new VM Jaguar has a vibrato, proper dual-circuit switching and Duncan Designed single-coil pickups.

Squier Vintage Modified Mustang

MSRP £334.80

The buzz

The first ever Vintage Modified Mustang is a fairly straight-down-the-line interpretation of its bigger Fender-branded brother, albeit with one eye on the purse strings. Featuring a vibrato bridge, Duncan Designed single-coil pickups and dual pickup switches. We want one and we want it now.

Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Deluxe

MSRP £370.80

The buzz

Based on the 1970s Fender Telecaster Deluxe, the main point of interest is that it's equipped with Fender's Wide Range humbuckers, which promise 'vintage tone and authenticity.' We also like the period-correct amp-style control knobs, which also featured on the VM Tele Custom and Tele Custom II.

Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Custom

MSRP £370.80

The buzz

Not to be confused with the VM Tele Custom and VM Tele Custom II, the VM Telecaster Custom uses a single Fender Wide Range humbucker in the neck position and a Duncan Designed single-coil in the bridge, which should allow for a fair bit of tonal flexibility.
